Researchers tracked individual diatoms—unicellular photosynthetic microalgae with rigid silica cell walls—as they glided along a surface using mobile adhesive strands that protrude through slits in their cell walls, known as raphes. In PNAS: https://t.co/FcktfjiIwj

@NickDesnoyer Beautiful! Have you seen the chromatic adapting Synechococcus? Maybe they could add to your palette.

@damnnyankee1776 @AFGENational It was enacted over several years by a review panel, supported by two major acts of congress and had bipartisan support. Not exactly apples and apples huh?

@mixotrophe Nice shot! Looks like Eli Olson?

Preprint of my first first-author modeling paper (call me a modeler)! A novel framework explains microbial coexistence and their nitrogen dynamics in the ocean!🦠🌊Amazing coauthors @PearseJBuchanan @me_microbes_and @magdalenasrr @babbinox @EmilyZakem https://t.co/MymI1csiBt

@waltermasterson She could pick Voldemort or Emperor Palpatine and that would still be fine.

Transporter annotations remain a stubborn blemish for ecologists and systems biologists. I’m hoping this perspective article finds its way to sponsors that can change that.

Support for a quadratic mortality closure in marine food web models, and a great read. @dtalm, AW and colleagues 👍

@LuisZaman I pushed for this during a Brewster’s Millions moment in grad school. The pitch: $150k espresso machine w barista, intercoms. The result: no.

@MarkusDeserno @Teri_Kanefield Thanks yeah it’s getting more difficult to interpret headlines from link captions on most of the legal pundits’ channels

A new preprint is out with @AshleyBulseco, @JulesDeep, and undergrad Wenzhou (Meg) Yang, where we look at how specific growth rate is distributed in natural microbial communities. Chemostats and models!

[John Casey @OnticOpen]

@MEPjoe @AshleyBulseco @JulesDeep Awesome! Do you think the shape of the growth rate distribution would be qualitatively different if there were a dilution rate dependence of the carbon substrate redox state (and therefore epsilon)?

@kendraturk @TylerCoale27693 @LoconValentina 🎉such a crazy twist to the ucyn-a saga!

So nitrogen fixation is an exclusively prokaryotic process, right? Turns out diazotrophs have evolved to become organelles. Incredibly cool work! https://t.co/O4c5b7sOgw

@baym It feels like you’re devaluing my Theranos degree.

@bluewaterlab @UCI_OCEANS @SutherlandLab @psu_research @PSU_Biology This is awesome Anne- I’ve missed hearing about the jelly pump and this is a new twist! Also wow the field campaign 🤩
